Pretend you’re all Republicans?

Why come here to ask if you should do it, then argue with every single person who tells you it’s a bad idea?
It seems like you made up your mind that you’re going to do it anyway but you needed someone to pat you on the back and tell you you’re doing the right thing.
If you really need someone to stroke your ego that badly and reinforce your terrible decision, then deep down you must know it’s the wrong thing to do, but if you could just get one person to tell you you’re in the right then maybe it’ll all work out.
Well here you go:

Go for it buddy, do your thing.

I’ll be waiting for the follow up post about how it went the same way, or possible worse than, it did the first time.

Digging it back up will only do more damage, then in a few years you’ll feel terrible about bringing it back up after it was settled.

Texas is still a better place for him than Washington

I can’t go a day on lemmy without seeing someone arguing about how people like Sanders and AOC might as well be “liberals” because they’re not “true leftists” and how we shouldn’t vote for them because they’re not far enough left.
We saw it in the 2024 election when people refused to vote at all because Harris wasn’t far enough left.
I’ve seen more people shit talking other left leaning people over single issues than I have any kind of infighting on the right.

Another problem: those who support the worst aspects of the system are united, those who oppose it are too busy fighting over who’s opposed enough to the point that it’s impossible to mount any kind of effective response.

One big argument I keep hearing is that it would be too expensive.
It’s honestly not that bad. The estimated cost is around $350 million. Now, that might sound like a lot but when you take into account that it’s about $1 per person it doesn’t seem so bad.
Now, if you consider the military budget of $480 Billion per year it seems even smaller.
It would take approximately 0.07% of the 2024 military budget to switch to metric.
